That's a geat deal!  Thanks for the tip.   I've been looking for a  
hurdy gurdy instrument, and didn't think one existed.  But I was  
including EXS24 in my searches, forgetting that Giga was just as  
useable.

They also have a "Twisted Textures" audio CD for only $10.  Since I  
just placed the order, I can't vouch for its usability, but it's $90  
at Musician's Friend, and the demo sounds impressive, so it seems to  
be a good deal as well.

The only drawback is that overnight shipping was the only option they  
presented to me.  $12.75 for overnight shipping that I don't need  
seems a bit coercive, but hey - it's cheaper than shipping to the  
UK! :-)
